for me Pharo and GUI go hand in hand, I cannot imagine Pharo without GUI. I also despise the command line. Plus once you remove the GUI you kill the very essence of Smalltalk.
But if that is what you(you as all people who support this) like and need, that's your choice and I respect that. Even back in the 80s when almost everything was command lines , I was drooling over Amiga's 500 beautiful coloured GUIs. It started my fascination with computer graphics and later 3d graphics and sound. So me and the GUI are very old friends and we go hand in hand :) Of course I understand if we want to go super minimal the GUI has to go together with many other things that make Pharo what it is. But I dont care for such extremes. I just wanted to reduce the fat. On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 2:24 PM Pavel Krivanek <pavel.kriva...@gmail.com> wrote: > What do you expect from such minimal image?
